Life
Frédéric Monneron was born on July 13, 1813 as the son of the pastor Charles Monneron and Louise Rosalie. Blanchenay was born in Morges on Lake Geneva , 10 km west of the canton capital of Lausanne in the canton of Vaud .
He studied philosophy and theology at the Académie de Lausanne and continued his education in Munich in 1836 and in Göttingen in 1837 . At the age of 24 he took his own life near Göttingen. In 1852 a selection of his poems appeared posthumously under the title "Poésies" with a preface by the Swiss poet Eugène Rambert . Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve in particular saw him as a lost genius. Nobody is said to have written more beautiful verses about the Alps .
In 1879 the Swiss poet Juste Olivier published a second revised edition of the collection of poems, which was supplemented by biographical information. While studying in Lausanne, Monneron became a member of the Société d'Étudiants de Belles-Lettres in 1829 and of the Zofingia in 1831 .
